So what you say is that:

   make clean; make menuconfig (change some option); make

and

   make menuconfig (change some option); make

produces different results?

That needs to be fixed first. If you can't trust your build system then you
cannot trust any result it produces.

What's you actual build procedure?

Thanks,
